WE WON!

⭐️ Victory for Jackson County, Indiana ⭐️
👏🏻 Nativity Scene Ruled Constitutional! 👏🏻

I would like to thank the entire legal team at Liberty Counsel for their tireless work. I hope that more communities and leaders will see this case’s outcome and stand up against these groups while protecting their constituents’ constitutional rights!

“Liberty Counsel’s Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “This is a great victory that affirms that the Jackson County holiday display does not violate the First Amendment. The Supreme Court and many federal courts have ruled such displays are constitutional, especially when the display includes other secular symbols of the holiday, and this display in Jackson County is no exception.”

Please take the time to read this article to better understand the true nature of this complaint. Links below.👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

“The appeals court refuted the opinion by federal Judge Tanya Pratt, who previously ruled in favor of an ACLU plaintiff who does not live or work in the county and does not transact any business in the Jackson County Courthouse. However, the plaintiff apparently “manufactured” her injury by going to the courthouse to see the display after living in Jackson County for two years without noticing it. The court’s opinion states that the plaintiff testified that “the whole display, including the secular items, offends her because it is all part of the Christmas and the whole, you know, Christianity thing.” She also stated that no matter how many secular items are in the display, and no matter their arrangement, the display will offend her. In essence, she would not be satisfied unless the whole display is moved off government property.”

PLEASE tell me they also ordered her to pay the court costs and the county for bringing this action!

Or does that have to wait until it gets back to the district court?
